Yeah, that one might work, it doesn't seem to have an overmold.  But I
still think the most straightforward solution is just one male and one
female NEMA 5-15, a foot or so of black, white and green 12 AWG THHN,
and some nylon expanding braid tubing and make a miniature extension
cord.  Then he can put whatever strip he wants or needs inside and put
whatever longer cord is needed on the outside.

Of course if you just get longer wire and braid, you can make a long,
nice looking cable as well that terminates to a single jack inside.  Or
it could even terminate in a junction box with four or more standard
outlets.
